Let’s see how the film turns out to be</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Story:-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vishnu(Raj Tharun) is a software engineer who shares a very close relationship with his mother(Sithara). As time passes by, Vishnu falls in love with Keerthi(Chitra Shukla). When everything seems to be going fine, a sudden twist in the tale changes Vishnu’s life upside down. What is that sudden twist? How will Vishnu deal with all his problems? and what happens to his love story at the end?. To know the answer to these questions, you need to watch the film on the big screen.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Plus Points:-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the basic plus points of the film is the mother sentiment. The scenes between Raj Tharun and his mother have been showcased well during the first half. Raj Tharun has matured a lot with his acting and does his role wholeheartedly. His performance during the emotional scenes is pretty good.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Priyadarshi’s comedy evokes decent laughs throughout the film. Chitra Shukla’s performance in the first half is decent. The climax of the film is good. Raj Tharun reading his mother’s messages and getting clarity about his love, such scenes have been showcased in an interesting manner.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Minus Points:-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The biggest drawback of the film is that it is painfully slow. Even after the first half is finished, the actual problem in the story is not disclosed. There is absolutely no chemistry between the lead pair which makes things disappointing most of the time.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The way the love story unfolds during the first half is also not that convincing. Some good romance should have been added to make things interesting for the audience.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even though the basic twist in the plot is revealed well during the climax, the scenes leading to this twist and heroine’s over caring behavior towards the hero tests your patience.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Technical Aspects:-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Production values for the film are pretty good. The middle class set up has been showcased well through some very good camerawork. Dialogues are pretty decent and so was the music. The background score was also pretty good as many sentimental scenes have been elevated well. The production design was decent. Editing was bad as a few scenes relating the lead pair during the second half should have been edited out to make things better.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Coming to the director Sri Ranjani, she has done just an okay job in her debut. She narrates the film on a very slow note and takes forever to enter the actual storyline. Had she added some good chemistry between the lead pair, the twist that she chose would have looked even better on the screen.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Verdict:-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the whole, Rangula Raatnam is a mediocre romantic drama which has some good moments here and there. Even though the basic conflict point is good, the narration is slow paced and the scenes relating to the basic twist give you a mixed feeling. The mother sentiment will be liked by the family audience but the rest of the film has nothing much interesting going its way. If you are okay watching films with slow narration, give this film a shot but be prepared for the predictable proceedings.</span></div></div>

The past few films, except '24', of this Versatile Actor have been disappointing. This time, He arrives with the remake of 'Special 26' which is being released as 'Gang'. Let's see what this film which is competing with the project of Two Telugu Stars during Sankranthi season have to offer...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: blue;">Synopsis:</span></u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">The goal of Tilak (Suriya) to become a CBI Officer gets ruined because of corrupt officials. Dejected by major setback, He himself forms a gang to conduct raids on big shots in the country by posing as a CBI Officer. A Special Cop (Karthik) will be assigned the task of nabbing the Gang Members. Mind game between the Gang and Cop forms rest of the tale.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Performances:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Suriya carries the whole film on his shoulders. He excelled, be it comedy or serious scenes. Dubbing offered by him has increased the overall impact. He should continue dubbing in Telugu.  </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Keerthy Suresh leaves a mark of her own despite minimal screen time. The look attempt by her for this movie is too good.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Ramyakrishna is an asset for 'Gang'. She has beautifully performed in the role essayed by Anupam Kher in 'Special 26'. The role of Karthik isn't so effective. Revathi's Husband Suresh Menon does a fine job. Anand Raj, RJ Balaji, Senthil and Sivashankar have done justice to their roles.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><b><u><span style="color: blue;"><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Positives:</span></span></u></b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Concept</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Casting</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Music</span></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b><u>Negatives:</u></b></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></span></span></div><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Second Half</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Technicalities:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Music composed by Anirudh Ravichander helped the movie a lot. While Songs are refreshing, Background Score elevates the scenes very well. Camera Work by Dinesh Krishnan is superb. Along with Art Director, He succeeded in creating 80s set-up. Dialogues penned by Shashank Vennelakanti are okay. Production Values are pretty good. Though 'Gang' is a remake, Director Vignesh Sivan left a mark of his own. The way he adapted 'Special 26' to suit South Indian sensibilities and making it more entertaining is worth praising.  In the process, Seriousness which was evident in the original misses a bit. Overall, The Young Filmmaker scores brownie points with the kind of command he have on the craft.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><br /><b><u><span style="color: blue;">Analysis:</span></u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Few months ago, There was a proposal to remake Bollywood super hit 'Special 26' starring Akshay Kumar with Raviteja. Whereas, Massraja opined the heist thriller won't work in South Indian Language if its made as it is and necessary modification should be done for getting the desired result. Director Vignesh Sivan has done exactly the same with 'Gang'. While the Original was in a serious mode, Remake is fully entertainment-based.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Vignesh Sivan adapted 'Special 26' to suit South nativity. Though the thrill factor got lowered a bit, Changes made to the remake are quite impressive and even those who had seen the original could give it a try. The core story & key scenes shown in the original have been used nicely. Particularly, The unemployment issue in 80s is being highlighted in 'Gang'. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Actually, The Film is inspired from the real life incidents. In the 80s, A Group of Con-men looted black money from Politicians and Businessmen by posing as CBI Officers. That atmosphere has been beautifully presented in 'Gang'. Though logic goes missing at times, The manner in the Gang Members operate continues to excite and engage the viewers. Especially, First Mission of the Gang is thoroughly entertaining. The way in which Hero transforms into a conman has been presented convincingly.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">The only serious sequence in 'Gang' (Death of Hero's Friend) hits the right chord with the audience. This episode is a creation of Vignesh Sivan as there was no such episode in 'Special 26'. Whereas, Second Half isn't as racy as the First Half and bit of lag is evident. Hero appointing his team by conducting interviews after issuing a paper statement on behalf of CBI looks unconvincing. Audience get the feeling that Director should have shown few more missions of the Gang. One gets the feeling that the movie has ended abruptly. Nobody knows why Vignesh Sivan ignored the twist shown in the Climax of the original. The kind of impression viewers had in the beginning gets reduced a bit by the end of the movie. Overall, 'Gang' is a thriller which you can give it a try this Weekend!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Bottom Line:</u></b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">  A Decent Heist Thriller!</span></span></div>

He is the one Actor with most number of Pongal releases if compared to the Stars of his generation. This time, Nata Simha arrived with KS Ravi Kumar's directorial 'Jai Simha'. Let's see whether Balayya thrilled his fans or not with the new outing...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Synopsis: </u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Narasimha (Balakrishna) takes care of an infant while working in the house of Trustee of a Famous Temple in Kumbakonam. In the process of saving his Owner's Daughter, He ends up becoming an enemy of a Gangster. He becomes a target for even an Assistant Commissioner of Police.

Watch 'Jai Simha' in theatres near you to know the mystery!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Performances:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Balakrishna entertains his fans and masses thoroughly with 'Jai Simha', be it performance, dialogues, dances and fights. He is too good in emotional scenes. Dance Moves of Balayya in 'Amma Kutti' song are a treat to watch. On the flip side, The look attempted by Balakrishna hasn't suited him to the T. While the make-up is bad, Age is something the 55-plus Actor couldn't hide.  </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Nayantara left a mark of her own with her screen presence and acting abilities. Both Haripriya and Natasha fail to impress. Prakash Raj has gone overboard. The role played by Brahmanandam reminds us of Vadivelu in 'Chandramukhi' and it's outdated to say the least. Nothing much to say about rest of the Casting.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Positive:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Balakrishna</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Amma Kutti Song</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Temple Scene</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Emotional Quotient</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Negatives:  </u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Outdated Plot</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Screenplay</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Technicalities:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Chirantan Bhatt has given his best for 'Kanche' and 'Gauthamiputra Satakarni'. May be, Mass Entertainers aren't his forte. None of the songs register except for 'Priyam Jagame Anandamayam'. The song of Haripriya doesn't fit in the film at all. Background Score is alright. Even Camera Work by Ram Prasad is nothing special. Production Values are just okay. Neither Story nor Dialogues penned by Ratnam have freshness. He, however, managed to deliver huge number of punch dialogues. KS Ravi Kumar hardly left a mark of his own. 'Jai Simha' is a proof that he failed to update himself & hence couldn't reach out to younger generation despite multiple attempts.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Analysis:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Promos of 'Jai Simha' has given a clear picture of how the movie is going to be like. Movie Lovers have been well prepared that they needn't expect any freshness in either story or screenplay. This movie is purely done targeting the Masses and Family Audience. Those who are happy with the Teaser and Trailer will be pleased to watch this commercial potboiler. At the same time, This could be a bitter pill for the audience who crave for new cinematic experience.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">In a way, 'Jai Simha' reminds us of 'Samarasimha Reddy', 'Narasimha Naidu' and even 'Simhadri'. A proven template has been preferred by KS Ravi Kumar but he ignored the fact that it's been outdated. Especially, These kind of projects mayn't appeal to Younger Generation which is looking forward to watch path-breaking films such as 'Pelli Choopulu' & 'Arjun Reddy'. Whereas, Fan Base of Nandamuri Hero will be content with this movie to some extent.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Most of the First Half is filled with Hero elevation scenes. Plenty of punch dialogues were included. In a scene, Balayya mouths the one-liner: 'Nuvvu Kumbhakonaniki Bhayam...Kani Nenante Rendu Rashtralaku Pranam'. Audience expect him to be either a Popular Leader or Godly Figure in the Flashback after listening to this dialogue. Much to their shock, He is just a Mechanic in that episode. Which means, Punch Dialogues were included just to please the target audience.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">First Half of 'Jai Simha' is passable with Hero elevation scenes, Punch Dialogues, Surprising Dance Moves and High-Voltage Fights. Twist in the Interval Bang doesn't blow anyone's mind. Lengthy Flashback in Second Half tests the patience of viewers. Romance & Comedy looks forced. Combination scenes of Balayya & Nayan are alright. Whereas, Scenes of Haripriya irritate. Tug of war between Hero & Villain is too routine. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Sentiment Scenes involving the Infant hits the right chord. Family Audience might appreciate them. Balayya entains the fans with Temple scene. In the Climax, Sentiment Scenes were included after a heavy-duty action sequence. A lengthy run time of 2.45 minutes is a setback and there is lag in Second Half. Overall, 'Jai Simha' is only for hardcore Balayya Fans.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></div>

This star-studded flick released Today amidst so much hype. Let's see if it met the expectations or not...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Synopsis:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Govinda Bhargav (Boman Irani), who built a business empire in the name of AB, and his Younger Son gets brutally killed. When his Second Wife Indrani (Kushboo) had no clue what to do, Abhishikth Bhargav (Pawan Kalyan) who happens to be the son of his First Wife enters the scene. He joins as an Employee in the company owned by his Family to know who is behind the conspiracy. Rest of the story is about how he finds the Killers & take over the Business Empire!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Performances:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">'Agnyaathavaasi' is Pawan Kalyan's One Man Show. He could be seen in almost every scene & appears in the manner in which Fans enjoy watching him. Be it PK's performance, mannerisms & fights, Everything seems to be designed keeping the fan base in mind. So, This movie is gonna be a feast for the fans of Powerstar.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Neither Keerthy Suresh nor Anu Emmanuel are able to impress. Their roles weren't etched out well. Screen Presence of Aadi Pinisetty in the villain's role is good but his character looks weak. Even Khusboo's role is no different. Boman Irani does a fine job. Rao Ramesh and Murali Sharma tickles the funny bone. Vennela Kishore is superb. Tanikella Bharani does a fine job.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Positives:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Pawan Kalyan</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Cinematography</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Interval Bang</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Negatives:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Screenplay</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Lack of Trivikram-mark</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Run Time</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: justify;"><b><u>Technicalities:</u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Music composed by Anirudh Ravichander isn't up to the expectations. Though 'Gaali Vaaluga', 'Baitikochi Chusthe' & 'Kodakaa Koteswar Rao' were good enough, There is a feeling that something is missing in his music. Even the picturization of Songs isn't up to Trivikram's reputation. Whereas, Background Score of Anirudh is awesome. Manikandan's Camera Work is a huge asset to the movie. Every frame looks so lavish and colorful. Production Values are grand. Director Trivikram took inspiration from the French film 'Largo Winch' for the basic storyline. Unfortunately, This style of writing didn't suit this subject much. Even the Dialogues weren't as good as his previous projects. No doubt, 'Agnyaathavaasi' is the weakest film in his career.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="color: blue;"><b><u><br style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">Analysis:</span></u></b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Audience don't think about logic as long as they find the proceedings engaging or entertaining. The actual problem begins when they were unable to connect with the emotions and that's what happened in the case of 'Agnyaathavaasi'. Throughout the course of the movie, One could find many logic less scenes as the story doesn't engage much and even the entertainment is below par. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">The Protagonist joins his Family-owned Company as an employee to find the people behind his Father's Murder. Instead of being on the mission, He indulges in romance with Heroines and behaves funnily with other staff. He hardly presents the grief which anybody who lost his/her Father would experience. What is the logic behind making the Hero do all funny stuff in such a serious subject? At least, Viewers would have given it thumbs up if the humour has entertained them but that didn't happen. Even 'Khaleja' which was the weakest film in Trivikram's career have some hilarious moments. Though the story is weak, Trivikram have the reputation of making it work with his terrific writing skills and sense of humour. Whereas, You find that magic missing in 'Agnyaathavaasi'.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">All the roles including that of Heroines and Villains haven't been etched properly. The complete focus of Trivikram is only on Pawan Kalyan. He made a conscious attempt to highlight PK in every scene. Though Pawan Kalyan thrilled the fans with his mark mannerisms and feats, Hero elevation scenes work big time only if Villain's role is strong enough.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">There are many Twists n Turns in 'Agnyaathavaasi' but Trivikram failed to keep it crisp and engaging. Lack of Trivikram-mark comedy is the biggest drawback. Multiple layers in story create some interest but the story loses track after a point. Action Block in the interval & the sequence establishing the relationship between Pawan Kalyan & Khushbu are worth praising. 'Kodakaa Koteswar Rao' song & few funny scenes in the office have been nice. Climax isn't so exciting but Trivikram-mark is visible here to some extent. Overall, Fans may enjoy watching Pawan Kalyan in almost every frame but neutral audience might fight it disappointing.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="color: blue;">Bottom Line:</span></u></b><span style="color: red;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Trivikram-mark Goes Missing!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "newsview" , "mallanna"; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;"><b>Disclaimer :</b> This Review is An Opinion of </span><span class="tL8wMe EMoHub" dir="ltr" id=":10u.co" style="background-color: white; font-family: "ramabhadra" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 18px;">One Person</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "newsview" , "mallanna"; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">.

His new film is MCA which has been produced by Dil Raju. Touted to be an action family drama, this film has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Story:-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nani(Nani) is a middle-class guy who stays with his sister in law(Bhumika). He leads a happy go lucky life with his girlfriend(Sai Pallavi) but things change all of a sudden when his sister in law who is a government servant lands into problems with a dreaded criminal(Naresh Vijay) in Warangal. Rest of the story is as to how a simple guy like Nani confronts the dreaded gangster and saves his sister in law.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Plus Points:</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">MCA works only because of Nani’s star value and amazing performance. Right from the word go, it is Nani and his captivating screen presence which makes matters work. He is perfect as a middle-class guy and carries the entire film on his shoulders.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Apart from Nani, Bhumika has a major role and she makes a perfect comeback in a good role. Her chemistry with Nani is spot on as both the seasoned actors hold the proceedings well most of the time.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sai Pallavi plays her supporting role well and is good in the first half. The main villain, Naresh gets a meaty role and he is good in his character. The first half has some good moments like Nani’s comedy episodes with Bhumika and Sai Pallavi.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Minus Points:-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The basic drawback of the film is that there is no entertainment in the second half. The film gets quite serious as it is only a cat and mouse game that becomes the main agenda.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even though the villain does well, his track could have been made more effective. The first half an hour of the second half has nothing great to boast about as the film dips to an extent.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The story of the film is quite old and does not have any novelty in it. You exactly know what is going to happen next. If not for Nani’s agile performance, this film would have been a bit disappointing.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Technical Aspects:-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Production values by Dil Raju are pretty good as the film is showcased in a decent manner. The way Warangal and its surroundings are showcased through some good camerawork is yet another bonus. Dialogues have been written well and give a lot of depth to the proceedings. Surprisingly, DSP’s music is quite disappointing as none of the songs manage to impress. The fights composed look decent on screen.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Coming to the director Venu Sriram, he has chosen a very old story and has tried to make it novel by Nani’s interesting character. Apart from Nani and Bhumika’s role, none of the proceedings in the second half manage to create an impact. Though Venu narrates the first half quite decently, it is the second half where things fall apart and the film looks interesting only during the last fifteen minutes.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Verdict:-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On the whole, MCA is a routine commercial entertainer which does not have any novelty story wise. But it is Nani’s who leads from the front and makes things interesting. His comedy, angry avatar in the second half holds things together and saves the film from going haywire. If you ignore the predictable proceedings, Nani makes sure that MCA ends up as a one time watch this weekend.</span></div></div>

On the other hand, Sampath Nandi delivered just average grossers like 'Racha' & 'Bengal Tiger' so far. Producers Bhagwan & Pulla Rao incurred huge losses in their maiden attempt, 'Rebel'. Even Hansika & Catherine weren't in great form either. All of these people who were going through a bad patch have come together to create a commercial entertainer like 'Gautham Nanda'. Let's see if too many minuses can become one big plus...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Synopsis:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Gautham (Gopichand), a billionaire, decides to end his life out of frustration. That's when he gets to meet Nanda (Gopichand), his lookalike, who was born and brought-up in a slum. Upon sharing their stories to eachother, They decide to inter-change their identities. What consequences does these two face forms rest of the tale.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Performances:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Gautham Nanda is Gopichand's show all the way. He breathed life into both the characters and delivered one of his career best performance while showing variations. The look he obtained for the billionaire's role will be appreciated. He excelled in the sequence after the big twist gets unraveled.  </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Among Female Leads, Catherine Tresa scores brownie points with glamour show. She bowls the youth and masses with her Bikini Sequence but there is nothing much to say about performance. Hansika appears to be a complete misfit to play the role of slum girl. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Chandramohan and Tanikella played their characters to perfection. Sachin Khedekar have little scope to perform. Ajay, Mukesh Rushi and Nikhitan Dhir were alright. Vennela Kishore & Bithiri Satti tickles the funny bone.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Pros:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Gopichand</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Catherine's Glamour</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Pre-Climax Twist</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Production Values</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Cons:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Screenplay</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Editing</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Technicalities:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">'Gautham Nanda' is technically sound. Music by SS Thaman is okay & Background Score is worth praising. Camera Work by Soundar Rajan deserves a special mention as Rich Visuals gave an feeling of watching a Top Star's Flick. Once again, Sampath Nandi showcased his command on picturization of songs. Grand Production Values are the major asset of this entertainer. Editing isn't crisp. Unnecessary Scenes & a Song should have been removed for making the proceeding entertaining. Even the pace of the movie would have been good had if certain portions were chopped off. Sampath Nandi executed the main twist in the subject so well but he failed to keep the audience glued to the screens until it was revealed because of predictable screenplay.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><!-- 600x120 --><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:600px;height:120px" data-ad-client="" data-ad-slot=""></ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Analysis:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">First things first, Production Values of 'Gautham Nanda' are much better than what Movie Buffs expect from a Gopichand-starrer. Producers have spent lavishly and the rich visuals are an eye-feast. Gopichand carried the whole film on his shoulders with his terrific performance. Songs & Fights have been composed well. The film have ample commercial elements but what's missing here is a gripping screenplay. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">We have seen Directors thrill the audience with Pre-Climax/Climax Twists in many films. The Twist in 'Gautham Nanda' is definitely good but it didn't sink well in the subject chosen. Impact could have been more had if Sampath Nandi narrated the story by maintaining good pace rather than including unwanted sequences.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Initial scenes of 'Gautham Nanda' give a feeling of watching a completely fresh subject. But, This impression has been shattered within few minutes with routine scenes. While the First Half is passable, Audience get impatient with Second Half with routine & repetitive sequences.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">The crucial Twist lacked the thrill factor & even the Climax is just okay. Commercial Ingredients like Grandeur, Glamour & Songs Picturization have been pretty good. Overall, 'Gautham Nanda' is a good opportunity gone wasted.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;"><br />Bottom Line: </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Rich Visuals - Weak Content!</span></span></div>

Let’s see how it is.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Story :</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Krishna (Sampu) is a small time employee who works hard and becomes a software employee in the US with the help of a girl called Ananya( Nidhisha). When everything seems to be going fine, Ananya gets killed in some mysterious circumstances. What is the actual reason for Ananya’s death? How will Sampu solve the death mystery? That forms the rest of the story.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Plus Points :</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sampoorneesh Babu’s acting and mannerisms will impress his hardcore fans to some extent. His over the top dialogues and buildup shots are fun to watch on screen. Director SR Krishna’s idea of dealing a social issue should be appreciated. Noted comedian Vennela Kishore’s role is a surprise package in the film and it is a major twist in the tale.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jabardasth Chammak Chandra’s comedy and his dialogues impress in parts. Heroine Nidhisha’s performance is good in her limited screen presence. yet another heroine, Geeta Shah is good looking and her glamor in songs will attract the masses. A social message given in the climax was good.</span></div><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><!-- 600x120 --><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:600px;height:120px" data-ad-client="" data-ad-slot=""></ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Minus Points :</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though director SR Krishna’s idea of dealing a social issue is good, he miserably failed in executing it. The first half of the film is filled with unnecessary and low-grade scenes which irritate the audience to the core.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though the second half of the film is comparatively better than the first half, it is also hurried up with improper proceedings. The scenes showcased in the apartment backdrop are logicless. Most of the film’s narration is flat and boring. Comedian Viva Harsha’s comedy is not up to the mark.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Technical Aspects :</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As above said, director SR Krishna’s idea is good but he totally failed in executing the film with a gripping and interesting screenplay. Editing is below par as many unnecessary scenes in the first half can be easily trimmed off. Camera work by VJ is just okay. The color texture used in the festival song is good. Music by Meenakshi Bhujang and Sunil Kashyap is not up to the mark. Production values for this low budget film are decent.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Verdict :</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the whole, Virus is a disappointing film from Sampoornesh Babu. Even though the story idea is good, the narration is quite flat and boring. All those who have a lot of time and like Sampoo’s kind of fun, they can try this film out. But the rest can stay away from this film and explore better options this weekend.</span></div></div>

The cop drama is directed by Jayant C Paranji and has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Story :-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jayadev(Ghanta Ravi) is a sincere police officer who gets involved in a deadly murder case of a cop. Upon his investigation, he comes to know that a dreaded liquor don(Vinod Kumar) is behind all this. Rest of the story is as to how a sincere and simple sub-inspector like Jayadev tackles the mighty Don and puts him behind the bars.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Plus Points :-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Debut hero Ghanta Ravi is okay and has a long way to go in terms of acting. He has a good physique and will nicely fit serious roles if used well. With time and more films, he should do better. The heroine of the film, Malavika Raj looks quite glamorous and provides good eye candy for the audience.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vinod Kumar plays a key role after a long time. One of the fights where the hero hides his face has been shot quite stylishly. The way the problems that cops face have been showcased in an interesting manner. Some investigation scenes have been handled well.</span></div><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><!-- 600x120 --><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:600px;height:120px" data-ad-client="" data-ad-slot=""></ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Minus Points :-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jayadev has a very old school storyline and is predictable to the core. Right from the first scene you exactly know what is going to happen next as there are no major twists or turns.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is very disappointing to see a director like Jayanth C who made films like Preminchukundam Raa direct this film in such a bad manner. The villain’s track is so poor that there is nothing else to look forward as the film moves on some silly and loud scenes most of the time.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even the proceedings that are showcased have no meaning at all. The way hero loses his job and his struggle to get back, all this has been showcased in a very poor manner. There is scope for good elevation scenes which have been not utilized properly.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Technical Aspects :-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Production values of the film are just average. Music of the film is okay and so was the background score. Camera work was pretty decent and showcased the cop set-up in an interesting manner. Editing is pathetic as at least 15 minutes could have been easily chopped off. Coming to the director Jayant C Paranji, he has just sleep walked through the film and his lack of grip on the script is clearly visible in this remake.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Verdict :-</span></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the whole, Jayadev is a too heavy subject for a debutante like Ghanta Ravi. He should have chosen a simple film to make his entry in Tollywood. Even though he tries hard in his role, the disappointing narration and lack of any gripping moments take this film down and makes it a strictly below average watch this weekend.</span></div></div>

This time, He teamed up with Harish Shankar & Dil Raju to deliver commercial potboiler 'DJ - Duvvada Jagannadham'. Has the combination worked?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Synopsis:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Duvvada Jagannadham alias DJ (Allu Arjun) is a brahmin youth who can't tolerate injustice since childhood. Apart from taking care of catering business, He fights against anti-social elements with the help of a Top Cop (Murali Sharma). Just when DJ was executing his plans in disguise, A huge conspiracy gets exposed and someone close to him pays the price for it. DJ steps in to end the atrocities of Royyala Naidu (Rao Ramesh) who is behind the scam. However, Royyala Naidu targets DJ's Family upon knowing about his mission. How did DJ accomplish the tough task forms rest of the tale!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><!-- 600x120 --><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:600px;height:120px" data-ad-client="" data-ad-slot=""></ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Performances:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Allu Arjun's Performance as Brahmin Youth is so-so when compared to either Chiru's 'Mugguru Monagallu' or NTR's 'Adhurs'. Looks-wise, Bunny appears amazing in both the roles. He is exceptional in Dances & Fights.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Pooja Hegde's Glamour has been elevated quite well.

But, It must be said that he didn't appear apt for the lead villain role. Murali Sharma is alright. Vennela Kishore was under-utilized. Posani, Tanikella and Chandramohan played their characters as per requirement.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Pros:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Allu Arjun</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Pooja Hegde's Glamour</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Dialogues</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;"><br />Cons:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Second Half</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Routine & Predictable</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Run Time</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;"><br />Technicalities:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Devi Sri Prasad offered a chartbuster album which could attract Youth and Mass Audience. Camera Work by Ayananka Bose is quite impressive. Production Values of Sri Venkateswara Creations are grand. Routine Story-Screenplay proved costly for 'DJ'. Harish Shankar yet again failed to utilize the golden opportunity he received after a success like 'Gabbar Singh'. The only saving grace is the Dialogues penned by him. Overall, 'DJ' lacked entertainment one expects from a crazy combo.  </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><!-- 600x120 --><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:600px;height:120px" data-ad-client="" data-ad-slot=""></ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Analysis:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">'DJ' Posters & Promos gave an impression that it might be a paisa-vasool entertainer though the Story & Screenplay appear routine. Sadly, The entertainment quotient isn't up to the mark. Makers might have thought of overcoming the short-comings with Allu Arjun's Brahmin role. Sadly, This character didn't live up to the expectations and hardly creates a lasting impression. Even the Love Track between the Lead Pair doesn't appear promising. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">While the First Half of 'DJ' is decent, Second Half is quite boring to say the least. Weaving a story around Agri-Gold Scam might make the subject appear contemporary. Other than that there is no freshness in this movie. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Childhood Scenes of Allu Arjun look artificial. Scenes of Protagonist taking law into his hands in the presence of a Sincere Cop to elevate heroism appeared unconvincing. Pooja Hegde's high glamour dose will be thoroughly enjoyed. Rao Ramesh playing Main Antagonist didn't work in favour of the movie. Even character graph wasn't maintained well. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">Most disappointing aspect is the Climax. Yes, Claims of Harish Shankar in the promotional interviews has come true. Audience didn't expect such a surprising Climax, which is over-the-top, at all. Having a Run Time of more than 2-and-a-half Hours is another minus. Post the screening, Audience express the doubt how did Bunny who is very choosey picked up such a subject.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: red; text-align: justify;">Bottom Line: </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;">DJ - What Message do you wish to convey with a Routine Cinema?</span></span></div>
